That was a really nice twist—I never saw it coming! And it wasn’t one of those cheating ones (coughHansfromFrozencough) — you never specified that K could hear Button’s thought! I love it so much! I also love Nick’s Gifted-kid shame over not being perfect—very relateable. It might have meant a lot for Button in Nick shared that vulnerability of his own free will, but Nick has spent his whole life being “the talented one” and he couldn’t.

It’s in chapter 5 — your crush on Sally has to be over 40. If you choose to watch a movie with her and help her dislodge an eyelash, you’ll get the option to kiss her.

“Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.”

Also, the Mr. Snodgrass mention is a reference to the Santa Scam story, right? Cute!
I was looking at the code for that section and noticed that choosing Mr. Snodgrass as the thing that Nick knows about you nets you +3 humor, whereas all the other options get coded/set as your “secret”. Not sure if this was intentional, or if it was also supposed to be set as something like “set secret snodgrass”?

I was so EXCITED for an update and the coincidental timing of it is incredible considering the fact I randomly decided to play the game again literally yesterday, on a whim. (And sobbed openly over Rainbow Connection but what’s new)
Yay! More Rosy content! We all craved it and we’ve GOT it!!!
(Also Kent… im care him. oh gosh, idk why but i want to marry him… totally not thinking about ringbearer dogs rn…)

So many twists in this chapter 
I just finished my first playthrough and I had so much fun torturing nick by flirting with rosy dhdjska the poor soul
There are so many things to talk about but something that really struck me when I was playing as a Button with high Nick stat was the scene where Nick admitted his jealousy and feelings of inadequacy.
I’m not sure how to phrase it, but I don’t think I see wholesome-AND-nuanced sibling interactions often enough in fiction. Maybe I just happened to indulge in ones that portrays wholesome sibling relationships as something flat eg. always supportive of whatever they do, practically telepathic, no ‘bad’ feelings lurking anywhere, etc - basically goals something to strive for but somewhat unrealistic and quite unattainable (in my experience) so that scene made me feel… seen, somehow?
It also adds nuance to their relationship+interactions and makes it more believable for me. I wish I see more sibling interactions like this in the stuffs i read/watch haha
Oh, and some chapter 6 typos:
You recognize the door that Lev leads you too. It Adsila Branham’s office.

We can logically assume that Vengeance is thus unaware that the bomber is a Ment.” Rosy upper lip curls with disdain as he glances back at the screen

Phosphorus sometimes smells like garlic,” Rosy says. “Powder traces from the debris revealed that the chemical composition had been altered. It’s possible that being chemically engineering accentuated the scent.”
Should be “being chemically engineered” or just “it’s possible that chemical engineering accentuated the scent”
Phosphorus sometimes smells like garlic,” Rosy says. “Powder traces from the debris revealed that the chemical composition had been altered. It’s possible that chemically engineered accentuated the scent
You left out “being” between the words, or maybe “it’s possible that chemical engineering/chemical alteration accentuated the scent”?
““I would never hurt Nick!” you burst out.
double "s super nitpicky, sorry

The Vengeance reminded me about a film called “V for Vendetta”, truly a masterpiece, and what a coincidence, the film is about people who want to change the society

JFC I can’t fanboy enough over this update.
Does K pull my heartstrings? Nope, he plucks them out of my chest, strings them on a lute and then serenades me with my favorite song.

@Manaxaggd no idea if you’ve picked the humorous button reply in the scene where button+nick were talking about its slogan (the we da bomb option), but it’s mentioned (sort of)
And also, Nick’s contribution?? “Time for judgeMENT” is

Well, this update was a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. The main plot is taking shape nicely; Rosy had some limelight; K is sorta Batman; and the special hospital visitor was very much noted. How fun.
Also, if that garlic smell has anything to do with the waitstaff of a certain restaurant, I will never stop laughing. Imagine getting foiled via herbs, or something. Not saying that will happen 100%, but if it does…lol.
Some potential typos/formatting stuff below (spoilers, too):

Okay, what can I say? My jaw dropped. The ending to chapter six is by far the most surprising yet forehead smacking of them all! Having seen and read so much on these characters already (I was really determined to find every possible way to succeed in the first class assignment) I should have seen it coming! It was so casually mentioned before, yet I never considered it! This is my spoiler free way of saying chapter six is a must read… well the full book is actually, no skipping!
As for writing, nothing felt too rushed or lengthy for me. In fact I found myself more excited to learn and push forward in the investigation so I think this chapters pacing is perfect for the plot buildup.
Also, I have to say, a lot was revealed in this chapter. It can be easy to make that feel lengthy or tenuous or sloppy. In this case it was none of those things because the manner in which they were revealed was careful and natural. To poetically describe it, reading this chapter was like being guided down a stairwell blindfolded with your most trusted friend as your functional assistant.

I’m ashamed to say I never noticed that the chapter quotes (??) change depending on which route you took in chapter one. I’m not sure if it’s because I always choose the same thing every time or I’m just not the brightest reader.
